Description
The Bear Went Over the Mountain: Soviet Combat Tactics in Afghanistan This 10th anniversary edition of a seminal work on Soviet military strategy in Afghanistan features a new introduction by renowned Soviet historian David M. Glantz. Enhanced maps and graphics have also been included, building on the 1996 edition. The Soviet Union's decision to invade Afghanistan was based on lessons learned from previous conflicts in Eastern Europe, but ultimately proved inadequate for the challenging terrain and highly motivated mujahideen fighters. To address this, the Frunze Military Academy compiled this book for their command and general staff combat arms officers, providing valuable insights for tactical training in similar conflicts. This book offers a candid look at the harsh realities of tactical combat, including the consequences of failure and the importance of adaptation and survival. Its lessons remain relevant today, making it a valuable resource for military professionals and historians alike.
